9.3. Reorganizing Resources for Interactions

Once the scope and range of interactions is
defined according to requirements and constraints, the resources and the technology of
the organizing system have to be arranged to enable the implementation of the desired
interactions.

Commonly, interactions are determined at the
beginning of a development process of the organizing system. It follows that most
required resource descriptions (which properties of a resource are documented in an
organizing system) need to be clarified at the beginning of the development process as
well; that is, resource descriptions are determined based on the desired interactions
that an organizing system should support. Most of these processes have been described in
detail in Chapter 4, Chapter 5 and Chapter 8.

Resources from different
organizing systems are often aggregated to be accessed within one larger organizing
system (warehouses, portals, search engines, union catalogs, cross-brand retailers),
which requires resources and resource descriptions to be transformed in order to adapt
to the new organizing system with its extended interaction requirements. Elsewhere, legacy systems often need to be updated to accommodate new
standards, technologies, and interactions (e.g, mobile interfaces for digital
libraries). That means that the necessary resources and resource descriptions for an
interaction need to be identified, and, if necessary, changes have to be made in the
description of the resources. Sometimes, ...
